Temporal and spatial characteristics of the voltage response of rods in the retina of the snapping turtle

1. In response to strong, large‐field flashes the dark‐adapted rods of Chelydra serpentina gave initial hyperpolarizing responses of 30‐40 mV, declining rapidly to plateaus of 10‐15 mV which lasted 20 sec or more.
